It's the "Musical Sunday" Edition......
Hubs and I got to see College Boy perform Sunday evening with his punk band from school. There was an impromptu concert held at an informal venue(aka someone's old barn)about 45 minutes northwest of here. The weather was stellar so we drove over for it and got to chat with CB too and bring him some essential supplies to get him through the last 20 days of school.
I'll upload the 2 videos I made later for your listening pleasure.
Moving on......
Here's what was planned last week--
1. Sunday--Ravioli(freezer)in Mushroom/Meat Sauce, Salad, Garlic Bread
2. Monday--Leftover Meatloaf, leftover asparagus, leftover beets

Here is this week's "food plan"--
1. Sunday--Eating Out
2. Monday--Tempura Shrimp, Cole Slaw
3. Tuesday--Rigatoni in Meat/Mushroom Sauce
4. Wednesday--BBQ Chicken, Leftover Cabbage
5. Thursday--French Onion Soup Gratineé
6. Friday--Leftover Sloppy Joes or Taco Salad
7. Saturday--?
This week will see 4 new meals cooked and 1 meal of leftovers(re-purposed into new dishes or not) and 1 meals Out and 1 meal of "I haven't a clue yet". lolz
What I need to buy for this menu.....Got the World's Largest Head of Cabbage last week so don't need that, BBQ chicken half and shrimp is in the freezer. I have a large bag of onions so will do our favorite French Onion Soup(low sodium, not that dark brown sodium soup crap you get in restaurants), use up the Leftover Sloppy Jo meat and Meat Sauce I had last week. Haven't a clue about Saturday's dinner yet.....depends on what if anything is left and/or what I pick up in the store this week or what I pluck out of the freezer. Other than looking for meat markdowns I don't have any plans at the grocery store this week so far. Maybe will buy milk, maybe not.

What is getting fixed and served at your house this week?
Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?
Any great deals on food at your stores this week?

You are such a good mom!!!!!! Drove over to see him and brought supplies!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't want to talk about spending money. Wah!
Yeah I hear ya on the spending money. I went on a clothes spending spree recently....it won't be pretty. lol
DeleteAwe!!! Can't wait to see the video!
ReplyDeleteComing in a couple of days.
DeleteNice! The best part for you is seeing your son and I am sure he loved seeing you there, especially the bearing gifts part!
ReplyDeleteThis is a bit random, and probably breaking the rules of annon posting - buttttt.... I found practical parsimony through your blog a number of months back. And now she no longer posts - any of your readers know what happened?!?!?
ReplyDeletesorry in advance for using your blog to ask about another blogger...haha!
No one I know has heard a word out of her. She was having her usual medical issues and was going to fast food to use their WIFI. Between car issues and medical I assume she just wasn't going out to do her blog stuff. But it has been awhile now, hasn't it?
DeleteI'm already off menu-daughter will get leftover hot dish from Saturday, I had licorice and potato chips heading home from a meeting, and will be working late from home.Not sure what DH will have, but I still can make what I was planning, and thne leftovers tomorrow for us girls.
ReplyDeleteMenu is just a guideline and not Gospel so don't worry about it. You can always go back on plan.
DeleteGreat menu. Do you cook it all from scratch?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's all from scratch. I might do a cheat like buy precut cabbage for cole slaw if I get a deal, that sort of thing. But down to the spaghetti sauce and the stock for soup it's all from scratch.
DeleteI need to get moving on my 'soup of the month' resolution.
